For over 20 years, The Elm Tree in Glounthaune has been a cherished part of the local community. Run by husband-and-wife team Derek and Lorraine Walshe, the restaurant is known for its welcoming atmosphere and dedication to quality.
Since opening its doors in 2001, The Elm Tree has evolved to meet the needs of its guests, including major redesigns in 2008 and 2018. These changes, combined with a commitment to service, attention to detail, and fresh, locally sourced produce, have earned the business numerous national awards over the years.
The Elm Tree prides itself on being more than just a place to eat; it’s a space for all occasions. From a casual coffee on a winter morning to hosting a summer BBQ with friends, the venue caters to a variety of experiences. With capacity for intimate dinners or larger gatherings, Derek and Lorraine have created a setting where people can come together to celebrate life’s moments, big and small.
As active participants in the community, The Elm Tree is always keen to hear from its customers. Whether it’s feedback to enhance the guest experience or supporting local initiatives, they remain deeply rooted in their ethos of fostering meaningful connections.
We’re delighted to have The Elm Tree as part of the Little Island Business Association network and look forward to sharing in their continued success.
